Ragged, torn American flag used as scarf at Democrat 'Jumah Prayer' service

What was touted as a 20,000 strong Muslim Jumah prayer service, actually drew "several hundred" according to MSNBC.
Yet the lack of numbers didn't keep an unnamed Muslim participant from making what many view as a political statement during the gathering.
As seen at the very public gathering at nearby Charlotte's Marshall Park, one individual opted to pray using a faded, torn and ripped American flag as a scarf (click here for larger image).
Men To The Front, Women To The Back...
While the Democrats have accused the Republican Party of waging a so-called "war on women," there was no comment from the DNC as to explain why the Muslim women were segregated to the rear from the men by at least 100 feet at the Jumah.
As explained on the website IslamNewsRoom.com, the gender segregation is explained:

"Provisions are provided at almost every place of worship for women to offer their worship in private, so as not to be exposed and compromised while in salat (daily prayers)."

As explained by an unnamed "convert sister," a female Muslim stated:

"Another reason, easily understood by Americans, is while praying men and women go through different positions considered embarrassing or immodest to do while in front of the opposite sex, like in the case of prostration.
As a woman I definitely prefer to pray and prostrate away from the view of men because of the position I am putting my body in, sometimes it could be considered suggestive."

In the case of the North Carolina Democratic National Convention prayer service, the Jumah was a public event, vice private.
Also, there was no laying prostrate by any of the participants.
Hence, the sex-based segregation was unneeded and unnecessary.
